Detect electron-prebuilt-compile version through package.json

See original GitHub issue

Why can’t the code in infer.js’s getVersion be replaced with the following? This would make it much easier to use a fork of electron-prebuilt-compile (which is frequently several versions behind the latest electron release).

const electronVersion = require('electron-prebuilt-compile/package.json').version

There’s a comment saying

electron-prebuilt-compile cannot be resolved because main does not point to a valid JS file.

but I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean. Applying the above change in a fork of this seems to work fine.

FYI, I’ve pinged the maintainer of electron-prebuilt-compile and he’s released 3.0.10.

I’d rather not. I have an idea which I may get to this weekend.
